Career


Wilkinson was born in Wollongong[1] and attended Campbelltown High School (now Campbelltown Performing Arts High School) in the Sydney suburb of Campbelltown.[2] She began her career working for the magazine Dolly.[3] At age 21,[3] she became the youngest editor of the magazine.[2] After four years she was appointed editor of the magazine Cleo and went on to become International Editor-in-Chief.[3] Her television career began in the late 1990s when she was a regular panelist on Network Ten and Foxtel's Beauty and the Beast. During the 2000 Summer Olympics, she (along with Duncan Armstrong) co-hosted The Morning Shift on the Seven Network.[4]


In April 2005, Wilkinson began hosting Weekend Sunrise on the Seven Network with Chris Reason, later with Andrew O'Keefe.[5] On 10 May 2007, it was confirmed that Wilkinson was to co-host Today on the Nine Network after Jessica Rowe left the network. Wilkinson's last appearance on Weekend Sunrise was 6 May 2007, and she began appearing on Today on 28 May 2007.[6]


Since 2008, Wilkinson has been the co-host of the Nine Network's Carols by Candlelight, replacing long time host Ray Martin when Martin semi-retired. Wilkinson's co-host from 2008 until 2012 was Karl Stefanovic, and in 2013 she was joined by David Campbell.[7][8]


In August 2015 Wilkinson was appointed as The Huffington Post, Australian Editor-at-large.[9]


On 16 October 2017, Wilkinson resigned from the Nine Network and Today due to a contract dispute and citing 'lots of reasons'[10] after 10 years with the network, effective immediately.[11] Wilkinson has been contracted to Network Ten and will join The Project as a co-host two nights a week on the weekly edition and host the program's Sunday edition from January 2018.[12][13] It's also suspected that she will host her own current affairs show.[14] In November 2017, the Nine Network announced that Georgie Gardner would replace Wilkinson on Today .


In 2018, Lisa launched on The Project with over 580,000 viewers.[15]



Personal life


Wilkinson married media personality Peter FitzSimons on 26 September 1992;[16] they have two sons and one daughter.[17][18][19]



Honours


Wilkinson was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2016 Australia Day Honours list for significant service to the print and broadcast media as a journalist and presenter, and to a range of youth and women's health groups.[20]


In 2017, Wilkinson's portrait by artist Peter Smeeth was a finalist in the Archibald Prize, and winner of the Packing Room Prize. The 100 cm × 150 cm (40 in × 60 in) landscape-form portrait has her reclining on a couch, looking out at the viewer. Smeeth said, "Three important things in Lisa's life are her family, television presenting and print journalism so I have placed her between a television and a magazine, while her family members are reflected on the screen. I wanted to convey the idea that when Lisa is not on television, her family is her focus."[21][22]
